eating squirrel is not that exotic as food goes. If you are from a rural region, plenty have tried it. I bet in Alaska, sarah's kin folk have sampled it. The meat is fine. When I tried it 3 years ago, the danger at the time was not to eat the brains because New England squirrels were carrying a disease there.

I was raised in South West Michigan,and Northwest Indiana. I have hunted since I was 3 with my Dad, and have been eating squirrels since then, though I don't get to hunt very often anymore, and I dont kill squirrels anymore after having one for a pet for a couple of years. I am a picky eater - especially when it comes to meat. Believe me - fried Squirrel is fantastic. To me it does taste a lot like chicken, but all the meat is white meat like breast. Really good stuff. Try it.

There's a bunch of squirrels on campus, plus they're fat from all the dropped sweets. We can't bring guns to school because then we'd get arrested but those squirrels are really friendly. Maybe I can catch one and try it out, though roasting it or something seems better.
